Rekd 06-09-2003, 11:23 AM Yes they can. Nothing magical about it either :D Just need to adjust your speeds/feeds a little. 'Rekd teh To be, or not to be, those are the parameters CAMmando 06-09-2003, 01:39 PM Oui quel rekd a indiqué. Pas un problème. Vous voudrez probablement le besoin de courir des vitesses inférieures cependant (25% d'aluminium). Dave teh "oui oui = wee wee" ;) eponyme-le 06-09-2003, 01:52 PM lol thank you for these replies ! if I buy a "low cost" :rolleyes: mill like a sherline or a taig, i will also have the possibility to mill copper ? Do you know some shops which send these products in france without big shippings ? Rekd 06-09-2003, 02:06 PM Oui, vous pourrez courir le cuivre sur une machine de basse extrémité. Je ne sais pas l'expédition à ou de la France, désolée.

It is nice to know that he can help the french speaking members in their own lanuage. Well done Rekd teh!! The only language i speak fluently is NONSENSE!! (chuckle) See you guys Klox Dan B 06-10-2003, 05:59 AM FYI... Keep in mind that some grades of copper are quite soft. For drilling, a normal twist drill will "bite" in and quite possibly break. For drilling this grade of copper, you need to grind a negative rake on your twist drill to prevent this from happening. Just a tip from an old toolmaker... Dan Rekd 06-10-2003, 08:49 AM For drilling this grade of copper, you need to grind a negative rake on your twist drill to prevent this from happening. Just a tip from an old toolmaker... Good point, Dan. Or rake, or what ever. :D I've had luck with 135 deg drills with copper before. Copper is one of those materials that seems easy to machine, but it often turns into a R&D project when you start dealing with that gum. 'Rekd teh Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines! :p Dan B 06-10-2003, 09:16 AM Hi Rekd, The 135° you refer to is the drill tip angle (as opposed to the standard 118°). I am referring to the rake angle, which is the angle of the cutting edge. Try and picture a drill as a saw tooth if that's possible. The rake angle would correspond to the part of the tooth that digs in to the material. A negative rake would mean grinding that back so that it doesn't dig in, but scrapes the material. Does any of that make sense? Dan Rekd 06-10-2003, 09:37 AM I understood the rake angle. Was just trying to drill some humor in there. :D I used to machine plastics a lot. You typically used 135 degree drills to keep from melting it and chipping the bottom on break-out. I carried that practice over into machining copper as well. This angle seems to help keep from gumming up the copper as well, although I doubt it's for the same reasons. 'Rekd teh " I'm sorry for the mistake....Yes, we'll put those missing holes in a bag and ship them out right away, Mr. Johnson." Klox 06-10-2003, 09:45 AM There is some info in the ftp section on drills, sharpening off etc...
